For this Sunday, October 2nd, the focus for
our meditation will be on Homecoming. Years ago it was typical for
someone to grow up and spend their entire adult life in the same state or even
town where they were born and raised.
One of the changes unique to modern life is the greater mobility enabled
by our vast highway system as well as affordable access to planes and
trains. People are no longer limited
geographically and find it much easier to relocate great distances. I grew up in Connecticut and yet am amazed at
how dispersed my high school classmates are with many of them scattered across
the entire nation and some now even residing in foreign countries. I’ve lived in only five states in my lifetime
but have traveled to almost 40 different countries and find it interesting how
some places immediately feel like Home and others never lose that
foreign feeling no matter how much time I’ve spent visiting. What is it about a place that the moment we
set foot there it tugs at our heart in a way that makes us feel as though we
are being embraced and welcomed Home?
It is as though the land itself holds an energy that resonates with our
physical body and makes us instantly feel “in tune.” Fortunately, once you have ever experienced
that sensation you can reconnect with that energy even from far away
locations. There was a place where I
grew up that I loved to spend many hours taking long walks or runs. It was a wooded park that let me connect to
nature and made me feel completely at peace.
To this day, when I call upon the memory of that place I feel grounded
and at Home no matter where I might be at the time. This week in our prayer and meditation time
let us consider what makes us feel at Home. Let us ask to be shown how to connect with
the energy of a place that offers us a sense of Homecoming that is
always accessible and helps us feel grounded and at peace.
In our efforts this week let us also continue to use the
energy of our prayers and meditation to amplify the light that covers and fills
this nation. As we perform our
meditation this week let us begin by re-energizing the brilliance and power of
the light we create. Just as before,
begin by forming a concentrated ball of light that is so bright it is almost
impossible to look directly at it. Raise
this sphere of light up high over the nation and then let its rays cascade down
to create a solid, impenetrable dome of light that completely covers every inch
of our country. From shore to shore and
border to border let the entire continent be filled with this brilliant, dense
light that will serve to magnify the best and highest qualities of our country
and the people who live across its vast lands.
Please follow the same practice as before: Get centered in
your body, ask to bring in your guides and others who are there to assist us,
and connect to the circle of others participating in this project.
Ask yourself what do I feel in my body when I am in a place
that makes me feel comfortable and immediately at Home? How does it feel in my body when I can recall the
sensation of Homecoming no matter
where I may be? Then send the energy and intention of those feelings to
the nation.
Be sure to disconnect from the circle at the end and express
thanks for those who have helped us in this effort.
